43-76 163rd Street, Queens, NY 11358

The 27-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 43-76 163rd Street in Flushing, owned by Michele Kohler, has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent years, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and HPD regarding lack of heat and hot water covering both whole-building and apartment-specific incidents. Most recently, there were complaints in 2025 (April and January) and multiple incidents during late 2022 into early 2023, all of which were eventually closed with heat and hot water being restored, though some required follow-up inspections.

The building also had a water leak complaint in 2022 that took several months to resolve, and two specific violations were recorded in January 2021 for Apartment 2B related to gas supply and smoke detector issues, both of which were certified as corrected in early 2021. On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations since 2018, with annual reporting indicating no infested or re-infested units through 2024.

The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 confirmed eradication of any past infestations. While the heating system issues represent a recurring maintenance concern, the building's overall management has successfully addressed these complaints, typically restoring services within a reasonable timeframe, and the absence of pest issues suggests effective ongoing maintenance in that area.
